Seminars with Keynote Speakers

Our line-up of keynote speakers continues our proud reputation of bringing business’s most influential names to each of our regional events to inspire and motivate the local business community as they share their success secrets. Our keynote speakers are the UK’s leading business influencers. Through their professional acumen and extensive experience delegates will be empowered with the guidance and renewed ambition to take their business to its next level of growth.

Great British Expo’s always provide the finest line-up of speakers the business world can offer. We work hard to ensure that our keynote schedules provide you with an unsurpassable depth of knowledge and insight to help your business move forward.

When it comes to business advice, we believe that it pays to listen to people who have a track record of unique business success and entrepreneurial experience. We have chosen leaders who have demonstrated, again and again, a natural talent for rising to the top, whatever the circumstances and continue to push the limits of achievement.

We hope that you are motivated and inspired by our selection of the very finest business leaders in Britain.

Workshops

Attend one of our industry leading Workshops all of which have been
designed to address issues that affect your business

Not only have our Workshops been created to be an interesting and enjoyable way of gaining practical hands-on experience, they are also a way of picking up the knowledge that your company may be lacking.

We have developed a series of 30 minute workshops at each event to help give business owners and managers the skills and confidence they need to enable them to successfully manage and grow their business. These interactive, classroom style sessions are specially created so that you can fully participate.

Networking Breakfasts: Pre- Expo Event

The UK’s Biggest Free Regional Networking Breakfasts. Over the years we have developed across the country what is now known as ‘The UK’s Biggest Free Regional Networking Breakfast’. Held on the morning of each expo, these pre-Expo breakfast events are extremely popular and often attract up to 200 business leaders – over a year period 900 business leaders will have enjoyed breakfast at these events.

Our pre-Expo breakfasts are a great way to begin your exhibition day. You arrive at the venue on the day of the Expo between 7.30am -9.00am, have breakfast, network and then are motivated by the keynote address from a leading UK business personality. You are then all fired up and ready for the grand opening of the expo at 9.00am and will be one of the first to get your delegate bag with promotional offers worth £100+.

The pre-Expo breakfasts are always oversubscribed so it is advisable to book your place early to avoid disappointment.

Serious Networking

Meet 40 new contacts in 30 minutes. Speed networking is the quickest and most effective way for you to make contact with potential suppliers, partners or clients. Historically, all of our networking sessions are completely packed out throughout the day. To ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, we hold several speed networking sessions per day at our events, including a ladies only networking session.

1-2-1 Business Matters

We have several 1-2-1 ‘business matters’ booths at each event. These booths allow you to meet industry experts on a one to one basis to acquire advice and guidance on the challenges you face during your day to day work or the running of your company. Whether it be accountancy, HR, marketing, cash flow, funding or simply business development challenges, there will be an expert available and ready to talk to you about your business needs and offer practical advice.

Wonder Women Business Panel

Our ‘Wonder Women Business Panel’ comprises a group of female experts in business offering advice, insight and tips on how to get ahead in the corporate world. This fantastic group of experienced women, from wide-ranging fields, can tell it like it is and identify with the challenges of being a woman in business today. Some members of our panel are mothers, some are not. Some are at the coalface of industry, having set up their own business and turned it into a huge success. Others have worked their way to the top in a corporate environment. Together they provide a unique but collective “voice” for women in business on some of the industry stories hitting the headlines, as well as offering expert advice and expertise on how to get ahead in business.

Supporting Charity

The ethos behind our business is giving back and that is why we ensure that our regional events are always about business AND community. To date we have donated over £50,000 towards local and national charities and are looking to increase this in 2018. We never charge an entrance fee to attend our events however we do ask that delegates make a voluntary £1.00 donation on the day of the Expo that will be donated towards a worthy charity.
